This ain't working out

By just a reaction - 17/08/2020 23:09

Today, my boyfriend and I got into a heated argument. He raised his hand like he was going to hit me. Having been hit by my ex before, I panicked and instinctively kicked his legs out from under him. He then dumped me because he said he was just gonna scare me, but I used real violence on him. FML

The best part of breaking up…

Today, my girlfriend and I got into a huge fight. She kicked me out of the apartment and told me to never come back. Devastated, I waited outside of the apartment door for hours, hoping she'd reconsider. I ended up falling asleep. I woke up to her foot stomping on me, screaming, "I meant it!" FML

Today, my boyfriend has never gotten along with my dad, but this afternoon during what I thought was a completely normal conversation, he just stood up, yelled he couldn’t take my dad anymore, punched him in the nose, dumped me, and drove away. FML

Today, I got into a huge fight with my boyfriend. I called him and started yelling at him over the phone. He told me that if I wanted to end the relationship I should just hang up the phone right then. Before I could say I still love him and don't want to break up, my phone battery died. FML

Today, my boyfriend tried to be romantic by dipping me backwards and kissing me. He dropped me on my butt and stepped on my hand while trying to help me up. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I got into a fight. We yelled for 20 minutes and then he put his hands on my neck. Once we'd calmed down, he explained he wanted to strangle me like Homer does Bart, but didn't follow through. This all started when I asked if he read a text I sent earlier in the day. FML

Today, I got into a huge fight with my boyfriend after driving 200 miles to see him. While arguing, I told him I never wanted to see him again and left after slamming the front door. I left my car keys in his kitchen. FML

Today, my husband ran at me, groaning like a zombie. I was so startled that I screamed, punched him, and started sobbing. Now he won't talk to me because this is 'the first step on the road of domestic violence'. FML

Today, my girlfriend and I got into a heated argument at a house party. To avoid a huge scene, I pulled her into another room, during which I managed to trip over my feet and faceplant the floor. She shouted, "Hah! That's what you get!" Now everyone thinks she beat the shit out of me. FML

Violence is never the answer

By MUemma - 26/02/2010 00:33 - United States

Today, my boyfriend came to visit me. He told me he was cheating on me, and that he wanted to break up. I was so angry that as he left, I started screaming at him out of my second story apartment window. I picked up a huge potted plant and shoved it through the window at him. It missed my ex and hit my car. FML

If he knew what you went through and still did this, he deserved it and more.

He should have not tried to scare you with violence on the first place though.

You dodged a bullet. No man should raise a hand to a woman except in love, ever!

No, that's bullshit. Threatening you with violence is just the first step.

It's good you got out now -- real violence was eventually going to happen. It's best to leave with a 1-0 record, the undisputed (blank)*-weight champion of the relationship! * I don't know your weight and it would be rude to guess.

Scare tactics like that - using the threat of violence - is still ******* abusive. You reacted justifiably against that threat of violence. You never know if he was lying about that just being a scare tactic, especially after you neutralized him as a threat. Keep that asshole out of your life.

Purposely causing someone to fear imminent physical harm is actually assault, so it's absolutely not ok even if he truly "only" intended to scare you. Raising a fist to make someone believe they're about to be punched is literally the textbook example of causing that fear, too.

Count it as a good loss! If he is trying to install fear in you he will most likely cross the line one day! Proud that you had a quick reaction!!!

Shame he broke up with you. You should’ve been the one to do the dumping. You did absolutely nothing wrong, regardless whether he knew about your past you don’t do that shit
